- Duration: ca. 14 min.
This song cycle sets excerpts from John Hollander’s intriguing novel-in-verse Reflections on Espionage. Each song is from the perspective of a different character, known by a codename. Felucca is torn between loyalty to her lover and to her work, and resigned to the sacrifices that her work entails; Cupcake ponders his sentimentality for the little things; and then there’s Velvet, who attempts to question his own use of violence in the name of a higher purpose. Reflections on Espionage was composed in 2005 for soprano and piano. There is also a version for voice and String Quartet.
